Photography Skills
This week I challenge you to put your photography skills to the test.
What is the most creative photo you can take?
Your photo can be of anything!
Perhaps you could capture; a sibling, a pet, a teddy, a favourite scene outside, some food, the weather, the sky, a garden or even some flowers!
Don't forget to consider: backgrounds, lighting, shadows, positioning, angles!
Good luck!

Technology in your Home
Children, this week, I would like you to go on a technology hunt in your home and record the different tools/devices of technology you have. You will probably be surprised to discover how much technology there is in a single room - and how in fact, technology is all around us!
You could draw an outline of your house and sketch the different rooms with the technology devices inside or you could make a list.
Extension: Create your very own 'Techno House!'
Design a house full of technology - where EVERYTHING can be done using only a button on a device - you could even invent your own new devices!
In my 'Techno House', I would love devices that can, make beds, fold washing and capture spiders!
